I have a second response, Madam Speaker. It is a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Ng on March 24, 1994 on the impact of rate increases on commercially-owned residential units.
Under the water and sewage subsidies service policy, tenants of residential units owned by private companies are not subsidized. If a private company and the occupant were to make arrangements for the occupant to pay for his or her water and sewage bills directly to the municipality, he or she would then be eligible to benefit from the subsidized residential rate established under the policy. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
